High quality appliance. Great for roasting vegetables, baking casseroles, broiling fish, melting cheese on a sandwich, making toast...among many other uses.
Not our first Breville and we had no second thoughts after the old one wore out after years of heavy use by our family. Makes lovely toast and is also useful for warming up pizza, making nachos, etc. You can also bake in it (and I prepared everything but a turkey in my old one in a pinch on Thanksgiving but I wouldn't recommend it).
My first Breville Smart oven was used several times a day for more than 15 years; baking, toasting, roasting, etc. When it died of course I bought another!!!
I bought this oven in June and used it very little prior to leaving on a two month trip. I enjoyed the fast cooking an not having to turn on my oven. I returned from my trip in October and only used it once and the next time the heating elements did not turn on. I was upset the this practically unused appliance was broken. The process of claiming the warranty and getting it repaired went better than I ever imagined. So I was happy with that. Again, I have owned it for only a few months and it already has spots on the outer metal like beginning to rust. While I like the oven an how it cooks, I can’t give it more than 4 stars as I’m hoping that it doesn’t break again soon. It’s heavy and difficult to package to send away for repair. If It doesn’t break again for at least a year, I might be able to review it better.
